The Plattsmouth Public Library had a cake decorating class for its
popular Mentor With An Artist Program. Among the students were Claire
Uhe, Lizzie and Ellen Rice, and Gary Ryan. Kari McCollum was the
teacher and taught making roses, grass, and other decorations. Not
only was the class fun but the results were very tasty! Every student
had their own individual cake to decorate and eat.
